HIS TICKET WAS FIRsT-CLAss,
But They Made Him Ride in a Car Occupied

by "Dirty Laborers," Etc.
Charleston rs. G., Special to New York World.
The Rev. w. FL. Heard pastor of the Mount
Zion A. NJ E. Church. who has made complaint
to the interstate commission about the treat
inert OF himself and friends on the Georgia Rail-
road, today made the following statement Of
II was on my way to Charleston and had
first-elass through ticket, which I purchased in
and enjoyed all the conveniences and comforts
that my ticket entitled me to until l reached
Atlasta. There we changed cars AS our party
about to enter the frst-class coach the
train that go to Augusta brakeman in
uniform said to us: Don't go in there. This is
the car for your people DR.; Gaines said to me;
to raise a fuss. The brakeman is simply carry
ing out his orders
1--WE entered the car pointed out to and
found seats. 1t was a dingy old car, much in
ferior to the second-class coaches the rail-
roads in South Carolina. Our part was divided
from the rest of the car by thin partition that
did not reach the top of the car, and over which
came clouds of tobacco smoke ana q very offens-
i've smell. We had not proceeded very far
our journey before crowds of railroad hands, in
dirty clothing, with their buckets and picks,
came into this alleged frstclass car, and by
their loud talking and bosterous conduct made
themselves disagreeable to refined person with
sensitive nerves. Several passengers came into
the car, bringing chickens and bags of meal, and
other articles of similar character. There was
carpet on the floor. and there was no ice in
the ater-tank. 1t is well we we're told that
were in frstclass car, for the liveliest imag-
ination would never have entertained such an
idea
when the conductor came around to collect
tickets l said to him: This is not the way to
treat men with first-class tickets He replied:
You will have to ride here get off the car
DR.. Gaines and l tried to talk with the
ductor and tell him that If the conductors of the
road would reason with the officers and tell them
exactly how matters stood there might be some
improvement in their treatment of colored pas
sengers with first-class tickets. The conductor
simply said it was mono of his business, and he
didn't intend to interfere with what did not con-
Germ him.
There was lady in our party who
light in color that she could easily be taken for
a white lady. She was we'll educated and re-
fined. AS she was nicely dressed did not
wish her to come into the dirty pointed out
to US, we suggested that perhaps they might
let her ride in the that her ticket gave her
the right to ride in. She proceeded towards the
door, but the brakeman refused her admission
and told her to go into the where were.
OF course this was very m ortifying to her. Onr
troubles were over soon we left Augusta

anyrailroad commission constituted
authority to regulate such matters, we do not
ular protest, and that is not always effective
in such cases. The bridge is VIGOROUSLY
unsafe, and has been for years. The company
have been patching it up for some time past,
and continuing to use it in spite of the risk.
If they continue this policy after the warning
and narrow escape of Thursday, it will be a.
fragrant disregard of public rights, Cor which
they ought to be made to suffer.

Fort Worth Special in st. Louis Post-Dispatch
N. W. Quincy, of Galveston, a Texas member
of the Republican national committee and the
undoubted leader of the Republican party in
this State was in Fort Worth yesterday. 1t
Mr.. Quincy who three years ago. brought the
Texas delegation to Chicago "solid" for Blaine,
and he had no little to do with securing the
nomination of the man from Maine. Mr.. Quincy
said: j. g. Blaine will undoubtedly be nomi-

candidate for President. believe this nomna-
tion will be by acclama and in the election
that follows Mr. Blaine viii. surely be elected"
'Why do you arrive at this conclusionW
Mr.. Sherman is the chief opponent of Mr.
Blaine, and Mr.. Sherman has made one great
mistake which at once al-rated from him the
who, after his Nashvil .ech, were disposed
to support him. As this speech
made. so different in -one from his Nashville
speech, the independent press at once that
he stood on the same platform Mr.. Blaine,
aud at once opposed him. Mr. Blaine can carry
New York; Mr. Sherman never: The two divis-

voters who will support the labor ticket
while the prohibition will come
from the Repu blican-that is, majority of the
vote will But the latter will far outnumber
the prohibition vote. and thus we will carry
New York and other so-called doubtful States.
Mr.. Sherman would have rejoiced had
Mr.. Blaine remained in this country in
stead of taking needed rest in Europe, but
Mr.. Blaine has plenty of friends at home who
will take of his canvass and ne could afford
to CO."
''Who will the Democrats nominateW
"They nominate but one man-Grover
Cleveland. The South, including Texas, will be
solid for him."
How will the prohibitionists' vote affect the
Democrats?"
"Oh, the Democratic prohibitionists are prac-
teal. They will vote for Cleveland and viii

The Utah constitutional convention, now
IN session at Salt Lake City, may present
new phase in the politics of the Territory.
The ostensible object of the movement is the
admission of Utah as State. On the basis
of population and resources such an applica-
ton might be entitled to favorable considera-
ton, but not while polygamy exists or is toll
Grated. The movement may open way for
removing that blot. If the people really
desire admission as State they should be
given to understand that the abolition of
poiygamy is an indispensable condition.

"Beating" the Doctors.
Commercial Advertiser.

New York CommerCiaI AdVertIser.
The extent OF deception to which persons who
can well afford to pay resort In order to obtain
free medical treatment is extraordinary. They
put on shabby clothes, give false addresses, and
lie about their incomes and the size of their
families Others, genuine paupers will feign
illness to be allowed TO sit waiting by the hour
in warm, comfortable room, and it is q very
common trick to obtain dispensary ticket for
some feigned ailment, and it in begging
from door to door. as certificate of inability to
work. Many patients travel the rounds of near
ly all the dlspensaries; they like to sit IN them
and gossip. and report to their neighbors what
the last new physician said about their chronic
.dyspepsy." The writer of this article has
a man in possession of seven different tickets of
dispensaries, which ne was using on several days
of the week.

Col. W. E. MCLEAN, Assistant Commits
sioner of Pensions, is visiting his old home at
Terre Haute. In an interview in the Express,
he ventures the opinion that Mr. Cleveland

degree of loyalty to the administration. He
is also loyal to his chief, for ne says:
General Black has been absent from.
Washington great part of the time-11 days
in the last year. And l may say that General
Black is the most popular officer in the public
service. He attracts more attention. proba-
bly,, than any other government official in
Washington. He is recognized as the choice
of the Democratic soldier element of the
country for the nomination for the vice-presi-
dency next year. [ think the conservative
Democratic press of the East are generally in
favor of him"
1t will be news in this part of the country
that "Total Disability" Black is so great and
popular man. By the way, where has he
been and what doing during the ITO days he
was absent from Washington last year, His
post of duty is in Washington. He is paid to
stay there and work, or superintend the work
of others. That is what the people expect
under ''reform" administration. Colon ell
McLean's ingenious statement that his chief
has been absent from Washington ITO days in
the year raises suspicion that he has been
travelling in the interest of his vice presiden-
tial boom. His case should be looked into by
the Civil-service Commissioners

THERE has never been much complaint
of ''the insolvency of office" as there is under
this administration. Some allowance must,
perhaps, be made for the weakness of human
nature, which too often leads to the assump-
ton of offensive airs and insolent manners by
those who are clothed with little brief au-
thority, but it takes great deal of charity to
divest such exhibitions of their offensiveness.
Secretary Fairchild has just furnished a con-
spicuous exhibition Of this sort Of official in
science, though for that matter Washington
is full of it now. A few days ago the presi-
dent of the New York State Board of Emigra-
ton Commissioners, accompanied by one Of
the members of the board, went to Washing
ton to confer with Secretary Fairchild on
matter of Importance. He made
appointment for them to call at the Treas
ury Department, and they did SO at the APP
pointed time. After keeping them waiting
for some time the Secretary sent word to the
commissioners that he had to attend Cabinet
meeting After waiting four hours more he
sent word out that if they had any business
with him they had better go to
New York and communicate with
him in writing. They concluded he
was about right, and left on the next train.
These gentlemen were not obscure citizens
nor ofice-seekers, and they felt their treat
ment so keenly that they did not hesitate to
speak of it in quarters where they knew it
would get into the press. They said they
went to Washington on official business on
the day appointed by the Secretary. They
were citizens of the United States and repre-
sentative from the commercial city of the
country, and were entitled to a respectful, if
not friendly treatment at the hands of pub
lie functionary supported by the people. How
much more manly and courteous it would
to have received them, if only for ten min
utes, and then said that he was so very busy
that it would be a favor if they would put
their petition in writing. As it was, he had
snubbed them and broken his engagement,
ard caused them to lose two days time.
The trouble with Secretary Fairchild seems
to be, as with good many other people now
holding office and drawing salaries out Of the
public treasury, that they do not understand
the true relations OF an office-holder to the
public. OF all people in the world, man
holding Office is the last one who should put
on airs.

Arbftrating the Chicago Lockout.

CHICAGO July 1.-Arbitration in the great
lockout in the building trades began to-day. Five
members of the Bricklayers Union and like

JEFF. DAVIS is impressed by the fact that
no battle-fag captured by the Confederates
has ever been displayed at Southern re-un-
ion of soldiers to manifest their success in
battle over their Northern brethren. It would
require more 'tgall" than any ex-rebel, other
than Davis himself, posse sses to make such
use of the Union colors. The Stars and
Stripes became the banner of the South again
when its rebellion was suppressed, and it could
hardly take pride in displaying the flag as
